Platformer

A vital part of this project, as with any open source project, is building a healthy and active community. From the beginning, documents such as this will be published, and all in-process documents and code will be maintained on public resources that encourage collaboration. Using popular discussion tools and “gathering places” on the web, we will grow as a worldwide community of developers and users who seek to realize and further develop the vision of the Platformer project.

Community development will also include personal visits to locations around the world where there is interest in use and/or development of the technology. It will be crucial to visit conferences and conventions, to give talks and presentations describing the ideas of the project and the state of its implementation, and to discuss open questions and issues with thinkers in political science, activist organizing, and other relevant fields.
